I'm slugging through the learning process, but I'm a little confused by a problem that I recently ran into: I have a sampled drum loop going along in a song, at the end of the song the sequencer has the loop pitch bend down 2 octaves. However, the S-770 is not responding to the sequencer's pitch commands. This doesn't make sense to me, because the S-770 responds fine to the pitch bender on my keyboard controller.

Written by someone in the US in a very comprehensive but narrative style. I think it is the best Roland manual I have ever seen. So, if the S760 doco sucks, maybe you should consider getting a copy of the 750 manual. Although it won't cover all of the 760, it should provide a pretty good foundation in getting to understand how the machine works (I think) Your local Roland dealer should be able to get a copy for you.

How do I get them on a diskette for the S550? I tried copying one (5501.out) to a 720K diskette and it ran out of space. I assume it is because it is formatted for PC's. When I get the S550 early next week I'll be able to format some diskettes for the S550, but will I be able to copy the file onto these non-DOS-formatted diskettes? How does this work? Maybe a copy/b to a:\? I also got a copy of samdisk which I am anxious to work with. Dan ................................................................................

S-550 disks, could you ask what the absolute last version of the OS was for that box ? I've got version 1.11. The reason I ask is that I'm having a problem (which I'm curious to see if other people can verify, BTW) that smells an awful lot like an OS bug. The symptoms are that if you have tones that are assigned to different outputs, they don't always come out the correct output. Try this: 1. Create a patch with a split between two tones; I used a bass below middle C and vibes for mid C and above. 2. In the patch, set key mode to "normal", key assign to "fix", output assign to "tone". 3. For the bass tone, set output assign to "Out1"; for the vibes tone, set output assign to "Out2". When I experienced this I actually had 8 or so patches setup with a bass tone split with other stuff on the upper keyboard. The idea was to run the bass tone out a separate output so that it could be EQ'ed differently. I wanted to use "fix" key assign because a roll on the upper tone with "rotary" key assign would use up the available voices pretty fast and cut out a sustained base note in the lower tone. 4. Create some other patch that is the bass tone only with key assign set to "fix" and output assign set to "tone"; thus this patch should play thru Out1 only. 5. Play a while on the bass only patch. 6. Switch to the bass/vibes patch, and some notes come out the wrong output. Sometimes you get vibes thru Out1, sometimes bass thru Out2. Not good if you have different EQs on each output, and more importantly in my case, quite different volume levels at the mixer. 7. If the key assign is set to "rotary", this doesn't occur. Argh !!! Also, if you leave it in "fix", but play enough keys (by laying your arms across the keyboard) to exceed the polyphony of the machine, the output assignments get set correctly. Otherwise, the output assignments didn't seem to correct themselves. My theory: With key assign set to "fix", the output assignment is not recalculated each time a voice begins to play; it's only recalc'ed when a voice is chosen from the pool of available voices; in "fix" mode, they aren't getting re-chosen (even when you change patches), so they don't get reassigned to the correct outputs. Comments ? BTW, I'd heard that "the OS was written in Japanese" was the reason for not releasing the source code. Presumably we're talking just comments here. Many of us have fixed enough code with poor or misleading comments to know that lack of comments isn't a valid reason. Now if they've just lost the code, that's more plausible. ---------------------------------------------------------- Graham Doig (doigg@rpi.edu) Sr. Systems Programmer RPI ITS, Troy, NY 12180 ---------------------------------------------------------- From math.uwaterloo.ca!lotus.uwaterloo.ca!sgroup-owner Thu Dec 29 11:00:02 1994 Received: from math.uwaterloo.ca ([129.97.140.144]) by watdragon.uwaterloo.ca with SMTP id <88166-2>; Thu, 29 Dec 1994 10:59:59 -0500 Received: from lotus.uwaterloo.ca ([129.97.140.9]) by math.uwaterloo.ca with SMTP id <78071-4>; Thu, 29 Dec 1994 10:59:53 -0500 Received: from veda.is ([193.4.230.1]) by lotus.uwaterloo.ca with SMTP id <137>; Thu, 29 Dec 1994 10:42:28 -0500 Received: from johann.veda.is (johann.veda.is [193.4.230.132]) by veda.is (8.6.8/8.6.6) with SMTP id PAA28710 for ; Thu, 29 Dec 1994 15:40:23 GMT Date: Thu, 29 Dec 1994 10:40:23 -0500 Message-Id: <199412291540.PAA28710@veda.is> X-Sender: johann@veda.is X-Mailer: Windows Eudora Version 1.4.3 Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" To: sgroup@lotus.uwaterloo.ca From: johann@veda.is (Johann Bjarnason) Subject: Re: Latest S-550 OS version [Was: RSB-501 through 508?] Status: R >Since you are actively dealing with someone at Roland Corp >w.r.t.

One is labelled S550_Util_1.15.Z, which suggests that 1.15 is a more recent version than you have. You might try that. On a slightly different topic, people might want to read the files in samples/Roland/READMES -- there are lists of the sounds in all the sample disk, as well as instructions on how to make use of them, and how to convert the S550 format samples to S50 format. They READMES also say that the 700 series samples can not be converted to 550 format (more bits I think).

That looks like only the utilities diskette, I need the system diskette to boot from. I looked thru a bunch of images I pulled some time ago (looks like the stuff that is in /pub/sgroup/samples/slab.slip.uiuc.edu/S-550/RSB-550 today). Lo and behold, the RSB-5505.xx images appear to contain version 1.13 of the system. They probably also require version 1.13 of the utilities disk to be fully useful, but since my output assignment problem occurs during playback, the OS from one of these might help me; I'll try it out. I was hoping you (John) could contact the person at Roland and get us a copy of the utilies disk for 1.13 and/or the system disk for 1.15, or at least find out the scoop on these three versions, including what bugs were fixed. Would that be possible ? And while you're at it, please mention that I think it's great they are supporting us after the 550 and friends are no longer current products. That's the kind of thing that will encourage us to buy their later-model gear when we outgrow the 550; for me, it's just a matter of time before that happens. ---------------------------------------------------------- Graham Doig (doigg@rpi.edu) Sr. Systems Programmer RPI ITS, Troy, NY 12180 ---------------------------------------------------------- From jupiter.sun.csd.unb.ca!dhomas Thu Dec 29 18:05:16 1994 Received: from unb.ca ([131.202.3.20]) by watdragon.uwaterloo.ca with SMTP id <88159-3>; Thu, 29 Dec 1994 18:05:04 -0500 Received: from jupiter.sun.csd.unb.ca by unb.ca (8.6.9/941012-15:50) id TAA10053; Thu, 29 Dec 1994 19:02:30 -0400 Received: by jupiter.sun.csd.unb.ca (4.1/SMI-4.1-941013-14:25) id AA06913; Thu, 29 Dec 94 19:02:29 AST Date: Thu, 29 Dec 1994 18:02:29 -0500 From: scott dhomas trenn X-Sender: dhomas@jupiter To: "John M.

Why don't you try to boot the sampler with the utility diskette? Use it as you normally do and when you are finished save your samples. Next time you boot from this diskette it will contain system 1.15. And BTW you can address me directly. job.

I have the system 1.15 disk and a corresponding utility disk. It took more than a year to get it up here from Japan, but finally worked. Anyway, I've contacted David Sellens about uploading a stripped system 1.15 disk to the archive. It'll be uploaded eventually. Until then, be patient. Rikhardur H.

Use >it as you normally do and when you are finished save your samples. Next >time you boot from this diskette it will contain system 1.15. What you need to do is boot your sampler with the 1.15 Utility disk _OR_ use the change system command in the "Disk" menu to load the operating system. Once you do this the disks you now format will have the new OS. To change existing disks, simply execute "Save System" from the "Disk" menu, and your old sound disks will have the new OS. Unfortunately, in my experience, just saving a disk only updates the sample and patch and setup data, not the OS. S.A.
